I suffer from a condition that causes the opening of my vagina to be extremely sore. It not only interferes with sexual intimacy with my husband, but it hinders my overall quality of life. The discomfort would be unbearable if I didn't have my compounded hormone therapy. My vulva and vaginal area are super sensitive and I have to be careful with the soap, menstrual products, and even toilet paper I use. To have to worry that I may lose access to the medicine that allows me to have intimacy and walk and exercise without genital discomfort is very upsetting! It's stressful to have this condition, but with my compounded hormone therapy, I'm given the relief I need to live my life and not think about my condition every day. It's been so wonderful for me and my husband. I'm so grateful that this medicine exists. Thank you for your time.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
